Welcome to English 2 Honors and British Literature Honors with Miss Rooney! I have been teaching at Bishop Montgomery since 2015 and I look forward to having another fabulous school year. My purpose as a teacher is to express my dedication, honesty and love for literature by thinking through every aspect of the curriculum, and by critically evaluating my students and myself. It is my hope to share my passion for learning and literature with my students. As Dr. Seuss once said, "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go!"
